Avatar Films, the US distributor of "Divine Intervention," told EI that the film's producer, Humbert Balsan, had spoken with AMPAS Executive Director Bruce Davis in early October, and had been told emphatically that a film from Palestine would not be eligible to compete.

Chicago Palestine Film Festival demonstrated, Palestinians inside their country, and in the diaspora, have among them many talented filmmakers whose art will continue to thrive, even if the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences apparently doesn't recognize it exists.

 Oscar Beat by Steve Pond - The Envelope
I would add that since that time, like the felons of the Watergate scandal decades earlier, those acting on behalf of AMPAS, having failed in their efforts to have as many ignore the controversy, are now pathetically in their early stages of denial.
Yes, AMPAS has often proclaimed, your gay characters can be fey, effeminate, sibilant, or palatably devoid of sexual libido, but what they must not be are virile Western horse riders peregrinating the wide open spaces.
That mean this year AMPAS ballot is uneffective, since there was AMPAS member expressed publicly they didn't seen all the nominees.

 AMPAS to dead people: Don't lose your Oscar - Cinematical
While Hattie McDaniel's Academy Award was significant in history as the first acting award ever given to an fl actor, the occurrence of its loss was after her death in the 1950's, after she willed the statuette to Howard University.
AMPAS has states that they will monitor eBay and other sources where stolen goods are sometimes posted to aid the university recover the statuette, but that is as far as their responsibility should go.
And Miss McDaniel's award would have been even more significant had she and her husband not been seated at a table alone in the back of the banquet room, far away from the other nominees from "Gone With The Wind." For that insult, both the Academy and the City of Los Angeles should be ashamed.
